Monitoring

High-resolution global rainfall map images are now available within four hours after observation from
TRMM TMI, Aqua AMSR-E and other satellites.
This system is developed based on activities of the JST-CREST GSMaP project using various attributes derived from TRMM PR.

System to visualize observation data of TRMM/PR, TMI and VIRS in near real time is available via internet.
This home page uses TRMM near realtime products, which are processed by NASA/GSFC and distributed 3-to-6 hours
after TRMM's observation. Users are easily to visualize TRMM data, select displaying area and size, overlay PR and
other sensor images, anddisplay them by Google Earth.
